If this can work, the first

jeffg — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 08:55:21 -0700

If this can work, the first place to start is the Python remote debugging docs:

http://docs.activestate.com/komodo/4.4/debugpython.html#Invoking_the_Pyt...

Aside: we looked into this a few years ago when the Python port was initially done and there were technical barriers around the socket implementation that prevented this from working. Komodo relies on the native Python socket module in order for debugging to work.

Git support in Komodo 5.0

troyt — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:55:29 -0700

We plan add Git support (probably just local commits, no "push" or "pull" yet) in Komodo IDE 5.0.

Noted in bug 66202

troyt — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:41:54 -0700

There's already an enhancement request for this in our bug database. I've added some of your comments:

SCC operations on live folders

troyt — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:35:08 -0700

for example, when trying to commit the code of a whole project, Komodo does not offer the option, because the project is not in the (subversion) repository

One workaround for this is to create your projects with the "Live Import" option disabled (i.e. not a "Live Project"), then add a Live Folder for the top-level directory you want. You can then perform any of the regular SCC operations on the folder.

Workaround in the bug report

From the bug description:
A workaround is to make a copy (or symlink) of "tclsh8.5[.exe]" and remove the version, i.e. to be "tclsh[.exe]".

Create Module with DLL

geoffair — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 05:21:09 -0700

I am not particularly a Perl 'expert', but it seems you should write a Makefile.PL -

Read perl docs :-

http://perldoc.perl.org/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.html

The final lines in Makefile.PL would be something like -

WriteMakefile( NAME => 'YOUR::Modulename',
DIR => [],
OBJECT => 'yourobjectfile.obj',
VERSION => '0.1',
... etc ... );

Then the standard Perl mantra of -

1> perl Makefile.PL - would generate the makefile
2> nmake - would compile your DLL
3> nmake test - would run any tests you put in the t\ folder

And when you are HAPPY it passes all the tests you create ...
4> nmake install - would copy your .pm and .dll to the appropriate places

Yes, you could probably copy the .pm and the .dll to the appropriate places manually, creating the correct folder structure, but this takes quite some understanding of the perl folder arrangements to find extension libraries ...

Hope this helps ...

Regards,

Geoff.

use Win32::Console:ANSI;
use Term::ANSIColor;

print color 'bold blue';
print "This text is bold blue.\n";
print color 'reset';

Tcl Shell not working in Komodo

Nicholas Cruz — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:02:33 -0700

Yes 4.4.1 . The option is there but it is turned of the icon is gray and white not black and white and the characters in the type are gray.

Re: Man page doc for command line opts of TDK apps?

AndreasK — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:37:04 -0700

We currently have such a page for TclApps command line options.
We have no such pages for the other tools however.

In the TclApp documentation (.chm) this page can be reached through the Tree Table of Contents, i.e. "TclApp -> Command Line Reference".

Re: When is TclChecker called from other TDK apps?

AndreasK — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:33:52 -0700

The tclchecker is currently invoked by two other applications in the Tcl Dev Kit.

tclchecker is invoked by the tcldebugger to check the Tcl code
shown in tcldebugger's main code window. The debugger takes
the generated warnings and errors and uses them to highlight
the relevant code in the window.
It is also invoked by tclxref, as you have seen, for the purpose of
extracting the information to put into the cross-reference database.
I.e. namespace/command/variable/package definitions/uses and their
locations. Generation of errors/warnings is suppressed.

Thanks all and more info

I am trialling the Komodo IDE and using an XAMPP install of apache for my php.
Had chosen php-cgi.exe as the php executable for Komodo testing rather than php.exe oer php-win.exe

And was getting the error message PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '??????\php\ext\php_svn.dll' -

Found I had to copy a few more files to get rid of my error

Following copied from apache\bin to ..\php
libdb43.dll
intl3_svn.dll
libapr.dll
libapriconv.dll
libaprutil.dll
and with all these copied to php directory I get no errors from
Komodo

The following command line executed from \DOS displayed for me the next dll that failed to load causing intl3_svn.dll to fail to load.

D:\xampp\Php\php-cgi -c D:\xampp\php\php.ini

(adjust for your systems paths and version of php that Komodo calls)
This allowed me to determine just what file to copy next.

Thanks to all for the comments that helped me resolve my problem.
Hope this comment may be useful to someone who has a similar problem to mine.

re: tcl shell not working

ToddW — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:42:35 -0700

You are using Komodo IDE 4.4.1, correct?

You should see the menu "Tools->Interactive Shell->Start New Tcl Shell", which will start the interactive session (it's working for me using ActiveTcl 8.5).

Are you missing this menu, or does this menu command fail to launch properly? If the latter, then you might find additional errors getting appended to Komodo's log files:

re: workaround for fork

ToddW — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:36:59 -0700

I'm not sure what the workaround for this particular problem is. You might want to ask Eric Promislow (Komodo's perl debugger guru) by posting a question on the following bug to see if there is a possible workaround:

re: fork override

Devin, did you make any progress on the fork handling, or come up with a workaround?

Thanks. I had seen that tech

rmacleod_verizon — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 10:22:32 -0700

Thanks.

I had seen that tech note. I am still not clear on how I connect Komodo and the newly created child process. What steps do I need to perform?
